Toledo Blade: Eastern Michigan faculty approves 4-year contract
Eastern Michigan University faculty overwhelmingly approved a new contract Friday after working seven months on an expired pact.
The agreement with the school’s administration passed 326-11, the American Association of University Professors said in a release. Eastern Michigan’s Board of Regents is expected to vote on the proposal soon, union officials said.
The agreement calls for salary increases of 3.5 percent, 4.06 percent, 3.75 percent, and 3.88 percent over four years. Faculty would get an added 1 percent contribution to retirement plans spread out over the last three years of the contract.
